Jesus is Alive!

The bottom line of our lesson tonight is that "you should put others first because Jesus is ALIVE!"  The lesson teaches that when Jesus came back to life, he commanded his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations.  Tonight our kids are learning that we need to tell others about what Jesus is like through our words AND our actions.  May all of our words, the meditations of our hearts, and our outward actions be found pleasing in God's sight.

He Reigns!

At Bible Zone we sang the song "He Reigns"  It goes like this:

It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir

It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
'Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word

When all God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

As 23 kids sang, "Glory, glory, hallelujah He reigns, He reigns." Then I realized the the powers of darkness were indeed very likely trembling. Praise God!
